Are these names listed with the BoA?  (that's the Bureau of Acronyms)...

Hi Greg,
        Apparently DMSO is not regulated by IATA. Interesting!! Check this
site out: http://msds.ehs.cornell.edu/msds/msdsdod/a194/m96878.htm  and do
a search for the following: IATA Proper Shipping Name: NOT REGULATED BY
THIS ...and this will bring you to where it says not a regulated IATA
compound.

Regards,
Randy

      Has anyone shipped DMSO before?  It is not in the IATA or DOT book,
      but the MSDS for it sounds like it should be.  Am I missing something
      here?
